The sequential read speeds on these devices vary from 700Mbps to 300Mbps and Huawei after some delay has now admitted that different combinations of LPDDR3 and LPDDR4 RAM have been used resulting in the difference noted.

In an official statement, Huawei has stated that to refrain from any supply shortage the company is ‘sourcing solutions from multiple trusted suppliers to ensure a balance between user experience, quality, and sustainable supply.’ The Chinese smartphone brand further says that results found through the test conducted by blogs and users alike do not reflect overall performance.

The company has also not specified if any specific regions will be getting a downgraded chip which has left consumers be bewildered. Buying a Huawei P10 is like playing a lottery since you never know if you will get a better, upgraded chip or the one with slower speeds. It has been proved previously with the explosion of Galaxy Note 7 that even the best of brands can face difficulties when looking to fulfill the demands in a haste.
